What is the Price of Wasp/Hornet Nest Removal & Chemical Treatment?

Wasp nest removal in the Greater Toronto Area starts at $250, with most standard outdoor nest removals falling in the $250 to $350 range. Nests located inside wall voids, underground, in roof soffits, or in hard-to-access locations are priced higher based on the complexity of access and the equipment required. Most wasp jobs are resolved in a single visit but when they are persistent, Guard More Pest Control will come by free of charge within the 30 day warranty window to exterminate the wasp/hornet threat.

An exposed paper nest on an eave or under a deck overhang is the most straightforward scenario. Nests inside wall voids, underground, in roof soffits, or inside the building’s structure require different equipment and significantly more time to treat safely. The location of the nest is the single biggest pricing variable for wasp removal.



A small spring nest with a few dozen workers takes minutes to treat. A late-summer nest at peak colony size, holding several thousand workers, requires more product, more protective equipment, and greater care to treat without triggering a mass defensive response. August and September nests are consistently more complex than spring ones.
Nest removal after treatment is included in the Guard More Control's wasp/hornet nest removal quote. Some competitors treat the nest without removing it, leaving the paper structure in place to potentially attract new queens the following spring.
Wasp treatment requires a fast-acting commercial-grade insecticide capable of saturating the colony at the nest entrance and a jet range of 5–6 metres to treat from a safe distance. Full protective equipment rated for stinging insect work is required for any established nest. These materials and their associated cost are reflected in the service price.
For households with a known venom allergy, DIY treatment of a wasp nest carries a genuine risk of anaphylaxis. Professional removal eliminates this risk entirely and provides a level of safety assurance that has a real value, particularly for families with young children or allergy sufferers.
